It is funny when people bitch about the US government... from behind computers fueled by US government subsidized electricity... using a computer shipped by US government subsidized transportation... while eating food grown with US government subsidized water and shipped with US government subsidized fossil fuels.

Rong, where were your vet buddies during the anti-war protests after 911 and before the Iraq invasion? I saw some military personnel there, but not many. It is pretty chicken sh#t to not oppose the actions upfront and only bitch about the consequences when they don't turn out the way you want them to. It makes more sense to protest when the decisions are being made, and then deal with the results the best you can once the decisions are made. You should try it sometime.

Oooo, dickworm posted an article from The Daily Caller... obviously a MUST READ.

Jim Baker, the NRA representative present at the meeting, recalled the vice presidentís words during an interview with The Daily Caller: ďAnd to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply donít have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.Ē

That sounds credible and certainly worth those little " marks. Repeated no less than 100 times in right wing bullshit blogs, all referencing The Daily Caller as "the source"... all hinging on Mr. Baker "recalling the vice president's words" correctly. Interestingly, Baker has also attributed that exact same quote to Holder. All complete and total bullshit designed to get the sheeple foaming at the mouth. The sad part is, it seems to work on some.

What amazes me is the arms acceptance creep that is going on. What used to be debated, is now considered an absolute Right (pun intended). Remember when Lynard Skynard came out with Saturday Night Special? That song was about the debate of whether there was any place for HANDGUNS ("are made for killing, they ain't no good for nuthin else"). Now we're debating military style weapons that somehow are ok because they're semi-automatic instead of automatic, stock grip instead of pistol grip.

When I watch the NRA talking heads defending these guns, the argument so often breaks down to semantics, if you can't name the part or type of the weapon correctly, your opinion on the ease with which it kills is not admissible.

Are they really that much more fun to shoot? Do we all need that much power to protect ourselves?

My personal feeling is that it is not any different than the American love of the Muscle Car. Who's got the biggest baddest "magazine/engine" on the block? It definitely makes you look good in the mirror holding that baby.....Not!!!!

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A troubling oversight has been found within New York State's sweeping new gun laws.

The ban on having high-capacity magazines, as it's written, would also include law enforcement officers.

Magazines with more than seven rounds will be illegal under the new law when that part takes effect in March.

Nearly every law enforcement agency in the state carries hand guns that have a 15 round capacity.

A spokesman for the governor's office called Eyewitness News to say, "We are still working out some details of the law and the exemption will be included, currently no police officer is in violation."

The Patrolman's Benevolent Association President released a statement saying, "The PBA is actively working to enact changes to this law that will provide the appropriate exemptions from the law for active and retired law enforcement officers."

State Senator Eric Adams, a former NYPD Captain, told us he's going to push for an amendment next week to exempt police officers from the high-capacity magazine ban. In his words, "You can't give more ammo to the criminals"
